What sports and activities are these elbow pads designed for?

The RDX Elbow Foam Pad is designed for boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, and martial arts training where elbow strikes or ground contact create elbow impact risk. The compression sleeve design and low-profile contour also make them suitable for general gym training where elbow support and warmth are beneficial — such as heavy pressing or tricep work. They are not designed for high-impact sports like skateboarding or cycling where hard-shell protection is required.

How does compression help the elbow joint?

Compression around the elbow joint stabilises the surrounding soft tissue — tendons, ligaments, and the joint capsule — reducing micro-movement under load and impact. It also promotes blood flow to the area, which helps maintain tissue temperature during training and may reduce the risk of acute injuries in joint structures. The Ayz-F™ elastic applies consistent compression without cutting off circulation, even during repeated arm flexion and extension.

Are these suitable for children?

Small and Medium sizes are recommended for children aged 10–14 years old. The compression sleeve design and adjustable Ayz-F™ elastic accommodate the arm dimensions of this age group when S or M is selected. For younger children or those with particularly small arms, measure the elbow circumference before purchasing to ensure a snug fit without restriction.

How do I care for the elbow pads?

Hand-wash in cool water with mild detergent and allow to air-dry fully. Do not machine wash on hot cycles or tumble dry — heat degrades the carbon fibre padding and Ayz-F™ elastic, reducing protection and fit over time. Allow the pads to ventilate between sessions; do not store in a closed bag while damp, as this accelerates odour build-up despite the MMT™ moisture management lining.
